haha, adam remember that time i tried to whisper to you and you were like WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING

 

[SuperRad]

maybe he's saying playing melee makes him better at brawl?

i do not think so
i've learned that pocky says what he means

 

[Miztik]

lol, i could totally see someone mistaking DarkMike for you with that description. He's black with a scar on his forehead.

Haahahahaha thats hella funny but true lol

you guys are going right? i want to play you guys

maybe he's saying playing melee makes him better at brawl?

i could see that

kinda lol

 

[NeighborhoodP]

haha, adam remember that time i tried to whisper to you and you were like WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING

ahahahaha

word

 

[L__]

I might not make it to WCSL.

*cries*

 

[ender]

if you arnt at wcsl kira wins.

 

[SuperRad]

if you arent at wcsl you arent a real person

deal wid it

really though someone play me on tuesday
i'll come 2 u

 

[pockyD]

i'll play

also, i wouldn't blame anyone for not coming to wcsl; with each "update", the picture looks bleaker and bleaker for a successful tournament

 

[NeighborhoodP]

i'll play

also, i wouldn't blame anyone for not coming to wcsl; with each "update", the picture looks bleaker and bleaker for a successful tournament

so i guess you don't have much confidence in neal or hyuga

ps: the comma goes inside da quotes

 

[Cheeri-Oats]

But does punctuation go on the inside for every "case"?

 

[pockyD]

i don't really understand why you would punctuation police on a forum, especially when it doesn't cloud the meaning of a post at all and you don't bother with capitalization or full sentences yourself

facts are: 8 pm closing time, "best of 2" pools (whatever that means), no friendlies, 200 brawl kids who don't know the rules and don't know how to follow instructions

 

[Cheeri-Oats]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is not the closing time specifically for those that want to enter/re-enter? Not necessarily for the tournament to shut down?

 

[pockyD]

why would they close registration at 8?

either it's the time we have to be out by (which would mean stopping even earlier to clean up? i dunno) or it really makes no sense

 

[Cheeri-Oats]

*Amicable Clap* logicD.

Not for tourney registration but I mean, entering the building. Like, certain clubs have their dance floors open until 2am, but people can not enter the club past midnight.

 

[pockyD]

then it would be a non-issue, as there's no real legit reason for smashers to be leaving the venue en masse before its over but wanting to return without having someone willing to simply go open the door for them on the way back

 

[Cheeri-Oats]

logicD, again. I agree with above statements.

 

[pockyD]

also, from the lack of hyuga's suggestions being implemented into the actual rules, i wonder if he and neal have any sway at all

 

[SuperRad]

i thought onski was going to be more open to suggestions
but i guess how he acted at CGC4 is representative of his personality

too bad, imo.

 

[The Greater Leon]

i am still excited to meet norcal

 

[NeighborhoodP]

But does punctuation go on the inside for every "case"?

your sentence above is correct.

i don't really understand why you would punctuation police on a forum, especially when it doesn't cloud the meaning of a post at all and you don't bother with capitalization or full sentences yourself

this is exactly why

facts are: 8 pm closing time, "best of 2" pools (whatever that means), no friendlies, 200 brawl kids who don't know the rules and don't know how to follow instructions

also, from the lack of hyuga's suggestions being implemented into the actual rules, i wonder if he and neal have any sway at all

are you really in a position to know this for certain? sorry, but i think hyuga and neal know more than you, so if they're putting their word behind it, it carries weight. that doesn't mean i'm not skeptical, but saying "with every new update, it looks bleaker and bleaker" is just your personal opinion ignoring the reputations of hyuga and neal, not fact.

 

[pockyD]

i thought it was clear that anything i say is my opinion... what led you to believe otherwise?

also, not only have i not seen neal slap his name on the tournament, but also after seeing his name tagged onto ohana without his knowledge, it's hard to expect he has a hand in it unless he comes out and says it himself

...and not only does hyuga know more than me, but he is also equally pessimistic

 

[NeighborhoodP]

i thought it was clear that anything i say is my opinion... what led you to believe otherwise?

duh, but apparently you're also not cognizant of how you come across

this leads me to believe differently:

This tourney has me and Neal now. We are probably going to have a projector with brackets on it. At count on Saturday was have 25 TV's, and we will certainly get more by the time the tourney rolls around. The goal is to have enough TV's to run all of the first round of Brawl doubles at once; at 4 entrants to a TV, a full 64-team bracket (reasonable expectation) is 32 TV's, which I'm fairly certain we'll get.

We have strats to get this done, we got this, trust. I'm not the kind of person that says things like this lightly.

 

[pockyD]

duh, but apparently you're also not cognizant of how you come across

what... that I think I'm right?

what's the point of posting you don't agree with what you say?

i'm not trolling, and if i was, it would be an extremely poor one since it wouldn't actually anger anyone that reads it here

this leads me to believe differently:

we can only hope so, but like i said, sheridan has told me a lot of the things he has proposed, and i have yet to see any of them implemented

 

[KIngGerudo]

facts are: 8 pm closing time, "best of 2" pools (whatever that means), no friendlies, 200 brawl kids who don't know the rules and don't know how to follow instructions

i lol'd at all of that. im willing to beat up brawl noobs to help the tournament go along xD

 

[NeighborhoodP]

what... that I think I'm right?

LMAO

what's the point of posting you don't agree with what you say?

For someone who obviously thinks they're so smart, you really struggle at thinking outside the box on some basic *** ****

i'm not trolling, and if i was, it would be an extremely poor one since it wouldn't actually anger anyone that reads it here

try again

we can only hope so, but like i said, sheridan has told me a lot of the things he has proposed, and i have yet to see any of them implemented

so basically you're just talking out of your ***.

okay.

 

[pockyD]

a bag of dirt

 

[SuperRad]

P
i know this is how you get some kicks when you are bored

but
i think pocky chats with sheridan more than just about anyone

plus that post from sheridan was from before his schedule got rejected [which was one of the reasons he was confident in running this smoothly]

 

[pockyD]

were you still interested in playing tomorrow?

i know it's quite the trip, and i don't get home til like 6:30...

 

[SuperRad]

well
it depends on 2 things
1) what time my final is wednesday
and
2) how long i would be staying at your place

because if my final isn't till the afternoon
i dont mind coming up around 6:30 for maybe only a few hours of smash
but if my final is early, i wouldn't bother

i'm calling around to get the time again
i'll let you know tonight what my plan is

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

I don't know if the schedule was "rejected" or if he just hasn't updated it with information yet. Also, I should say that I don't have direct word from Neal about his involvment here. He is coming for sure, I just don't know in what capacity he will be running the tourney. Even if he just shows up and doesn't do much, I think we will still run everything on time. In any case I'm going to PM onski and try to settle the schedule immediately. And also try to get control of this thread to someone who actually posts here and knows what's going on.

I also never said "no friendlies." I said "no friendlies unless we say so." If the number of TV's exceeds the number of first round matches in Brawl Doubles, I plan on making those extras to be dedicated friendly TV's.

 

[pockyD]

**FINALIZED SCHEDULE**

-8PM WCSL concludes. happy holidays

says finalized

and things randomly start half an hour apart, and everything is running concurrently

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

Yeah, I talked to onski on AIM today. This is basically the schedule, and apparently for the most part these are set in stone, and this is the way it's going down :/ Although the relative starting times of the events aren't EXACT, we're going to start it as TV's become available. So, if Brawl doesn't finish the first day, we will finish it during the later part of the Melee bracket the 2nd day. Apparently pools for Brawl are going down.

I am going to try to get control of this thread to get this junk updated. I am confident that we can get everything done in a timely manner still.

PLEASE BRING SETUPS, ESPECIALLY TV's! IF YOU LIKE FRIENDLIES, YOU WILL BRING TV'S!

 

[Miharu]

pools for melee?

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

No pools for melee unless we miraculously stumble upon 2-3 extra hours at this tourney.

 

[pockyD]

i can bring 2 hours from home

 

[Miharu]

No pools for melee unless we miraculously stumble upon 2-3 extra hours at this tourney.

wow

need i bring up the chatlog

seriously though, **** brawl; they're willing to cut into melee time to finish brawl but not the other way around. sigh worthless ***got game

 

[KIngGerudo]

i can bring 2 hours from home

quote of the week. shroomed is bringing 3 tvs i think.

 

[Gaara♥]

is he also bringing 3 wii's/GC's?

 

[KIngGerudo]

umm im not sure but i know he has a gc and a wii at his house. ill ask him soon. sheridan, you should send him a pm about that, he will respond better if you ask than me. ill just call him gay and ask if his mom knows,

 

[Rosedemon]

Why is Brawl being favored so heavily over melee?

I mean, I can deal with the cutting into Melee time for Brawl, fairly understandable.

However, the no pools for melee is simply a joke. You may not need to show fair treatment for both games, but at least try and mediate the time to accommodate both melee and brawl. (To a certain extent)
